For what i can see, my expectation are that the Lachute exhaust won't rust/have leak after months, compare to some exhaust sold in great quantity. Plus the sound from the video is insane. If you compare with other video from other maker, the lachute catback doesn't drone or have a lose metal sound...

I higly recommend this catback. Lachute Performance are real professional !
I think that it being made of all stainless steel is really important especially since I saw this other thread going on now about how some person's exhaust is already rusting.

I would say the Lachute is a bit louder than the center setup even because they replace the stock resonator. Nameless keeps the stock midpipe in their setup as they didn't see any gains from changing it out which keeps the price down on the system as a whole.
Wow all those choices from Nameless are awesome! From what everyone is saying Nameless sounds like a great company! lol

Also I saw on the Lachute website that the exhaust is .125 gauge wall tubing and I tried googling what that meant but couldn't find anything helpful. Somewhere it said that was pretty thick for an exhaust?

Where exactly did you find this ?

Edit: They don't mentionned anything on the wall tickness in french. When you put the website in english, now you can see.

Sound really good to me. Found Nissan GTR forum were the guys were searching the best wall tickness for tubing to do an exhaust.

If you are not sure, take a ruler that uses inches, and look how 1/8 inch is thick. For a tube of great quality of stainless steel, I think it is way enough... lol

Yeah she's a member of are club.

You can't go wrong with both exhaust, the only reason I was pushing more the lachute was because you seem worry about loudness. Otherwise I would go with Nameless.
